Thank you for your words of encouragement. Remind me to send Trumpman some LEO for helping bring in thoughtful and loquacious people like you here :P

Yes, you described it perfectly; People tend to gravitate toward those with the glittering crown, understandably so. Not trying to downplay the generous efforts of those with the crown, though. their efforts are never in vain when it comes to encouraging the creation of content and onboarding new recruits, but they can only do so much. It is rather the pattern of dissemination of those people that serves as a barrier to the spark of a discussion in newbies' posts, or to bringing forth concerns, problems to address, thoughts on a matter of much debate or bringing to light anything that might be of interest to the greater public. All of which are the newbies' focal element when making a post. Curator's picks serve to bring to the surface those kind of posts, but how effective are they in doing so? How many diamond in the rough have slipped through the cracks? Evidently, many things are in order to relieve this divide.

Do you think it's possible a similar situation to Steemit could take place? There's a degree of self-voting, but do you think we'll see a rise in bots in, say, three or five years from now? Because That can form quite the impediment towards new recruits, it becomes essential to incentivizing the creation of content.

Appreciate you dropping in, man!
